Casino Royal Yak Torreon

Located in the Mexican state of Coahuila, is the city of Torreon. It has a population of roughly 610,000 people, and with Gomez Palacio and Lerdo, comprises the Comarca Lagunera (or La Laguna/The Lagoon), a basin in the Chihuahuan Desert. It got its name from the 3 surrounding dry lagoons, the Lagoon of Mayran, the Lagoon of Viesca and the Lagoon of Tlahualilo. The city is served by the Francisco Sarabia International Airport. A noteworthy attraction in the city is the Cristo de las Noas, the third tallest statue of Jesus Christ in Latin America (the other 2 being Christ the Redeemer in Brazil and the Cristo de la Concordia in Bolivia ). You can find it on the Cerro de las Noas hill, where there’s also a Catholic church which provides great views of the city below.

Gaming

After viewing the various attractions throughout the city, head into the casino for a light session of gambling. While no table games, they do offer a selection of classic and video slot machines coming in various denominations. If you prefer to spend your time playing bingo, look for the electronic bingo terminals. When deciding to bet on horses and internationally televised sporting events, head to the casino’s sportsbook.

Dining

For varied cuisine, you can pretty much find a little bit of everything in the city, with such offerings as Japanese, Chinese, French and Arabian. And of course, you won’t be lacking for authentic Mexican cuisine. Try Los Farolitos, which has been around since 1965, and offering classic Mexican fare, or Tio Taco, with their over 25 different types of tacos available on the menu. If looking for Italian, with menu items like pastas, soups and salads, there’s Italianni’s. When looking for something a little heartier, like steaks, there’s Los Adobe’s as well as Steak Palenque. For further dining options, ask hotel or casino staff to point you in the direction of those places that are both popular with locals and tourists, or walk about the city, choosing your own favourite places.
